When did Lady Gaga and Michael Polansky become parents?
United States: Singer Lady Gaga and her fiancé Michael Polansky have welcomed their first child, a baby girl named Rose Bean, according to reports. The couple have not publicly shared extensive details about the birth, but Gaga was recently photographed with the newborn during a private outing in Northern California.
Reports said the baby was delivered by Dr. Robert Katz, an obstetrician-gynecologist known for working with several celebrity families. The birth marks Gaga’s first experience as a mother.
What is known about the baby’s name and Gaga’s plans for motherhood?
The baby’s first name, Rose, has been linked to Gaga’s large rose tattoo, which runs down her spine and was inspired by her performance of La Vie en Rose in the film A Star Is Born. The middle name, Bean, has been associated with singer and activist Carl Bean, whose work influenced Gaga’s song Born This Way.
Gaga has previously spoken about her desire to become a mother. In an interview with Rolling Stone alongside Polansky, she described motherhood as her greatest personal aspiration. Polansky has also discussed the couple’s hopes of building a family inspired by the parenting approach of their friends Elton John and David Furnish.
The couple’s new arrival adds a major personal milestone to Gaga’s career, as she continues to balance her music, acting and other professional projects with her new role as a parent.
